Planning ahead

Pre‑planning allows you to make informed decisions about your final arrangements in advance, so your wishes are documented and your family has fewer decisions to make during a difficult time. Many people find peace of mind in knowing their plans are in place.

What pre‑planning can include

Families may choose to make arrangements ahead of time with:

• A licensed funeral service operator, and
• A cemetery

When you meet with cemetery staff, we will:

• Review available cemetery options with you
• Provide clear pricing for each option
• Help you select arrangements that reflect your wishes, such as the cemetery and, where available, a specific location within the grounds

Pre‑payment options

Pre‑planning also provides the option to pre‑pay cemetery fees, including interment (opening and closing) costs.

For those who choose to pre‑pay:

• A 15% down payment is required
• Interest‑free payment terms are available for up to one year

Why families choose to plan ahead

Families often choose pre‑planning because it can:

• Reduce emotional and financial stress for loved ones
• Ensure arrangements reflect personal preferences and values
• Help secure preferred options, especially when availability is limited
